July '10

We had a lovely day at the National Working & Pastoral show at Malvern - see the Results page for how Toby & Elouise got on. We also had chance to see Elouise's litter sisters Roxy & Claudia. Claudia went onto win PG3 :-)

Cujo & Spencer have finally headed off from sunny Wales to their mum in South Africa.

They are such sweethearts & will be very much missed by all of us here, but are now where they belong :-)

 June '10

We have a new addition to the family in Happy the Rough Collie puppy.

Happy Has come from Alison Grainger's Samhaven kennel & will be co-owned by Ali & Lillie

At Southern Counties Championship Show, Toby won his Limit class despite being as bald as!!

We were very pleased to see Ch Chandlimore King Of Hearts - Errol (sire to our co-owned boy Dylan) go Reserve Best In Show from an entry over over 8,000 dogs

 May '10

I went back to Bath on the Sunday to watch the Saints & was absolutely thrilled to see Elouise's litter sister Claudia (Chandlimore Trick Or Treat) win Best Puppy In Breed & then go on to win the Working Puppy Group with her dad Tan :-))

Rory's first show was Bath Championship Show. First time showing a Golden for me too. I had last minute emergency trimming assistance from Rory's breeders Jan & Julie Merrick, who had Rory's sister Pheobe with them & 2 of their boys.  Always nice to learn new things (like Rory has been running around with a hippy style tail until today!!!) Everyone in the breed was extremely friendly & we had a really nice day, if you ignore the rain.... He wasn't placed in his class of 11 but he was a VERY good boy & I was really proud of how well he behaved

Rory is home after a lovely holiday in Ireland :-)

 April '10

We have 3 imports due later in the year from the States & Italy.

2 very much longed for Odin babies - Gift & Carletta & a son of Pink Patchwork Quilt, a bitch I have admired from afar for a while :-)  A wonderful opportunity for us to bring fresh blood to the UK & finally some smooth coated fur kids for me!!

All the babies have had their rabies vaccinations & bloodtests so now just have to wait the required 6 months to travel under the PETS passport scheme.  

Please see the 'Imports' page for more info on these fabulous pups

Toby & Storm both behave very well & do well at the Working & Pastoral Breed of Wales Championship show. See our 'Show News' page for their results

Nemo (E litter) has safely landed in his new home with the Dias family :-)

Truly (E Litter) has moved to her new home with the Jeacock family & is a new little sister to Florence (Drop Dead Fred) from our D Litter.

Dennis - aka 'Bear' (D Litter), who has been run on with Ali at Samhaven has moved home to live with Jane & Jim, along with Dennis' mum Millie, his sister Maisy & Marvin from our C litter.. Jane & Jim are clearly mad, brave or both!!!!

Rory my precious Golden Retriever boy has headed off on holiday to Ireland with my friend Declan & his Bullmastiff Gus for a few weeks, while the house girls here are in season.

Rather than poking his nose where it shouldn't go with the potential of being eaten, he will be       playing on the beach & no doubt rolling in things he shouldn't......
